Brest’s Ligue 1 season, has so far seen them gain four points, going into this game

Brest need a positive result from this game, if they are to move their season forward. Their last match resulted in a loss to Angers SCO, before that they drew away to Olympique de Marseille, 1-1.

Also, can Brest extend their incredible run of one wins? With four points (1W, 1L and 1D), they are established in seventh position in the League having won one game, drawn one game, and lost one game.

Brest have drawn one game of their one League matches at home this season.

A win in this fixture, would take Brest’s points from 4 to 7, so far this season.

Good Attacking Performance

They have a good scoring average of six goals (5 from open play and one penalty). This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Jeremy Le Douaron (2), Achraf Dari (1), and Haris Belkebla (1). Brest have shown a poor defensive display so far, having conceded five goals in their previous games.

Brest are missing three players through injury or illness. This will affect Michel Der Zakarian’s selection choices significantly.

Montpellier have so far accrued three points in this season of the Ligue 1

Only a positive result will be acceptable for Oliver Dall’Oglio’s men, following their recent home defeat at the hands of Auxerre in their last match.

Also, with an unfortunate Montpellier that has not managed to win in their last League so far, Oliver Dall’Oglio’s men form is worryingly poor. La Paillade should solve their trend if they don’t want to occupy the lasts places in the League Table. With a thirteenth position in the league and 1 wins, 2 losses and 0 draws, they currently have three points in the League having won one game and lost two matches.

Montpellier have lost one game of their one League matches away from home this season.

Montpellier will have 6 points if they manage to secure a victory.

Good Attacking Performance

Montpellier will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (6). This season, their stand-out attacking players have been Teji Savanier (2), Theo Sainte-Luce (1), and Enzo Tchato (1). Montpellier’s defensive record in the Ligue 1 has so far been very weak, with nine goals conceded in their last games. This is an issue that Oliver Dall’Oglio urgently needs to address within the dressing room.

Montpellier are likely to be missing three of their key players when they start Sunday’s game, due to injury and illness.
